Welcome!

Hello! Happy spring! You’ve found the PDD blog.

Who is PDD? We are Portland’s Downtown District. PDD is a business improvement district that has been around since 1992. We are responsible for some of downtown Portland’s biggest events such as the Old Port Festival, Alive at Five, the Annual Tree Lighting, Merry Madness and much more!

We also work closely with downtown shops, restaurants, museums and galleries to get the word out about what makes them unique. Our mission is to make downtown Portland a better place to live, work, play and invest.

Stay tuned to this blog for an insider’s look at what makes Portland great: new stores and restaurants, fun events coming up, notices when your favorite shop is having a sale, links to Portland news, and more!
